Who’s ready for a flying car? The Air Force is working on one. AFMag 

The Air Force’s new senior leadership team, in its first trip together, visited the service’s effort to create a “flying car” for both military and civilian use.

Air Force Secretary Barbara M. Barrett, Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., and Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force JoAnne S. Bass on Aug. 20 visited the AFWERX “Agility Prime” program near Austin, Texas. As part of the visit at Camp Mabry, the chief executive officer of LIFT flew in the company’s “Hexa” multirotor electrical vertical takeoff and landing vehicle. The futuristic machine looks like a massive consumer drone, with a small cockpit.

“Agility Prime [is] designed to transform logistics and transportation, with flying cars that [were] very Jetsons-like, as we have had a chance to see and experience, the Agility Prime in action, lifting off and maneuvering, and the chance to see that and envision how that could change,” Barrett told reporters after the trip.

Long Island, New York – American forces, composed of Continental Line and militia regiments from several states, attempt to hold back a well coordinated attack by the British Army. While most state units gave a poor showing, often running away upon the enemy approach, this was not always the case. American General Lord Sterling commanding a brigade of Maryland and Delaware regiments, blunted their advance long enough for other troops to safely withdraw.
